A Course in Miracles is so pure, so fantastic, so highly effective, and a lot additional spiritually sophisticated than any other piece of the world's literature (previous and present), that you just must essentially knowledge it to think it. But these whose minds are also attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for correct spiritual understanding that is definitely needed for its understanding, will most likely not comprehend a single whole page. That is definitely not since A Course in Miracles is confusing - on the contrary its principles are remarkably simple - but rather because it is the nature of spiritual understanding that those who are not prepared to know it, simply can not realize it. As stated in the Bible, in the beginning of your book of John: "The light shineth in darkness, and darkness comprehended it not".

Ever given that I first became aware on the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I've enjoyed reading many superb spiritual works just like the Bible (my favorite components will be the Sermon around the Mount and Psalms), the Bhagavad-Gita, the Upanishads, the Koran as well as the poetry of Kabir and Rumi. None of them come close towards the greatness of a Course in Miracles. Reading it with an open mind and heart, your fears and troubles wash away. You grow to be aware of a marvelous like deep within you - deeper than anything you knew ahead of. The future begins to appear so vibrant for you as well as your loved ones. You feel adore for everybody like these you previously have tried to leave excluded. These experiences are extremely strong and at occasions throw you off balance a little, nevertheless it is worth it: A Course in Miracles introduces you to a really like so peaceful, so robust and so universal - you might wonder how so many with the world's religions, whose aim is supposedly a equivalent knowledge, got so off track.

I would like to say right here to any Christian who feels that his church's teachings don't genuinely satisfy his thirst to know a type, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to study the Course for the reason that of others' claims that it is inconsistent with "true" Christianity: Never worry! I've read the gospels a lot of times and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is absolutely consistent with Jesus' teachings even though he was on earth. Don't worry the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma - these poor people assume themselves to be the only carriers of Jesus' message, as well as the only ones worthy of his blessings, though all other will go to hell. A Course in Miracles reflects Jesus' correct message: unconditional adore for *all people*. Whilst he was on earth, Jesus said to judge a tree by its fruit. So give it a try and see how the fruits that ripen within your life taste. If they taste bad, you'll be able to abandon A Course in Miracles. But if they taste as sweet as mine do, and the millions of other accurate seekers who have found A Course in Miracles to become absolutely nothing less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations - and might your heart constantly be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
